Statements
Responsibility for Use
Inadequate performance of the gas detection equipment described in this manual may not necessarily be
self-evident and consequently equipment must be regularly inspected and maintained. Ion Science
recommends that personnel responsible for equipment use institute a regime of regular checks to ensure it

Warnings
Mercury amalgamates with gold, silver, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys. Accidental trapping of
Mercury can cause serious damage to vital parts of electronic equipment and delicate instruments. Mercury
is also toxic if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin or eyes. Care must always be exercised when
handling Mercury.
The MVI employs an internal Ultra-Violet light source operating in the 254 nm region. Ultra-Violet radiation is
dangerous and if for any reason the lamp is operated whilst exposed, UV protective glasses must be worn.
High voltages are used in this instrument and the cover should only be removed by qualified technicians.
Ion Science Limited can accept no responsibility for the incorrect use of the instrument that cause harm or
damage to persons or property. It is the user’s responsibility to appropriately respond to the readings given.
